Electrical Specifications,
General Description
The HMC484MS8G is a low-cost SPDT switch in
an 8-lead MSOPG package for use in transmitreceive applications which require very low distortion at high input signal power levels, through
10 watts (+40 dBm). The device can control
signals from DC to 3.0 GHz. The design provides
exceptional intermodulation performance; > +70
dBm third order intercept at +5 volt bias. RF1 and
RF2 are reflective shorts when “OFF”. On-chip
circuitry allows single positive supply operation
from +3 Vdc to +10 Vdc at very low DC current
with control inputs compatible with CMOS and
most TTL logic families.
TA = +25° C, Vctl = 0/+5 Vdc, Vdd = +5 Vdc (Unless Otherwise Stated), 50 Ohm System

Typical Application Circuit

1. Set logic gate and switch Vdd = +3V to +10V and use HCT series logic to provide a TTL driver interface.
2. Control inputs A/B can be driven directly with CMOS logic (HC) with Vdd of +3 to +10 Volts applied to the CMOS
logic gates and to pin 4 of the RF switch.
3. DC Blocking capacitors are required for each RF port as shown. Capacitor value determines lowest frequency
of operation.
4. Highest RF signal power capability is achieved with V set to +10V. The switch will operate properly (but at lower
RF power capability) at bias voltages down to +3V.

The circuit board used in the final application should
be generated with proper RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines at the RF port should have 50
ohm impedance and the package ground leads and
package bottom should be connected directly to the
ground plane similar to that shown above. The evaluation circuit board shown above is available from Hittite Microwave Corporation upon request.
